Vistara, one of India’s full-service carriers and a joint venture of Tata group and Singapore Airlines, on January 14 added Kathmandu as the fifth international destination to its fast-growing network. Vistara will operate daily flights between Delhi and Kathmandu starting February 11 and the bookings have already been opened by the airlines company via its website www.airvistara.com, mobile app and travel agents.
Leslie Thng, CEO of Vistara, said, “We are happy to launch services to Kathmandu, the gateway to a country with significant trade and cultural ties with India. The timing could not have been any better, as Nepal recently kick-started its global tourism campaign, ‘Visit Nepal Year 2020’ and prepares to welcome two million tourists this year. These factors make Kathmandu a promising addition to Vistara’s growing network. As India’s only five-star carrier, we look forward to contributing to Nepal’s tourism growth meaningfully and providing business and leisure travellers alike the finest way to fly between the two countries.”
With a vast domestic route network in India, Vistara customers can take convenient one-stop connections to/from Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai and Pune among other cities, reads the press statement.
